I'm currently testing a Droid 2 Global to determine if I want to transition from another OS to this phone. I have this setup as a wifi only device during testing, but I'm having problems where the wifi ends up not restarting after the phone goes idle for a while.
What I see is no wifi icon on the status bar. If I try something like the marketplace it fails saying not connected or something like that. To get this working I have to go toggle wifi off and back on - it works correctly after that. It's not a problem each and every time either - only sometimes does this fail to come back on - most of the time it is resuming correctly.
It may be important to note that I have the phone in airplane mode 95-99% of the time. Once airplane mode is on I then turn up the wifi which should stick - at least on all of my other phones.
The phone started with Froyo, but it was updated to Gingerbread before I had spent any real time with it so I can't comment if this came as a result of Gingerbread or if this would have been an issue with Froyo.
While I'm a newbie here - I'm technical just not very savvy with Android yet.
